I am debating on buying or building my own computer, I would like to build and use linux os but I'm just not sure how difficult it will be.
It will be used to play wow, download cd's, light photo editing and maybe a few other games I don't think wow really needs a great video card so since I am limited on funds I'm chosing to get that later and just use the one on the mobo. This is what I have come up with so far any suggestions would be great or anything i am missing just keep in mind i am trying to keep everything within 600-700 dollars thx.
